For a while I was getting a lot of 2009-and-later Sonatas from Avis.
They are REALLY nice cars. I am surprised each time. I far prefer them
to Camrys. Just nicer to drive, nicer interior, better looking, everything.
The only thing that kept me away from them when I went shopping was an
ex-girlfriend's '90-something Excel.
That car was worse than a Yugo. Yes, it's been twenty years. If I have
to go car shopping again, I'll probably stop at the Hyundai dealer.
Especially now that they've got a 400 h.p. V-8 (or something like that I
saw in a car magazine recently).
If Ford would kindly drop an Ecoboost V-8 in a Taurus, give it
rear-wheel drive and roll out the new S.H.O., I'd be there already. The
new Tauruses are really nice too.
I can remember my older relatives insisting they'd NEVER buy a Honda or
Toyota because 'the Japanese built garbage'. I think the Koreans were
just a few decades behind them.
